If anyone’s wondering, it’s because of cold water quickly shrinking the smaller blood vessels in the body which increases cardiovascular pressure temporarily. Solution: pre-warm your shower.
I guess I have to quit the Polar Bear Club.
>>>A heart attack also is called a myocardial infarction. The usual cause of sudden blockage in a coronary artery is the formation of a blood clot.”
Now, isn’t myocardial infarction also caused by the Covid shot, one of the side effects?
Prelude to state control of your shower.
I take cold showers only from June 1 - Sep 1. Much more refreshing.
Headline could have mentioned that this is about COLD water showers and lowered the level of fear porn.
Now, jumping into a cold river, ocean, or pool is a different story.
The article is poorly written and takes forever to get to the point. Meanwhile a zillion pop up ads interfere with reading it.
So now we’re going from SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) to SASS ... Sudden Adult Shower Syndrome? /sarc
How about this ... what did they have in common ... cold showers?

From link:
“Dates of death: July 17, 18, 20.
Look at how close together the dates are! All three died in a 3 day period just days after they gave the 4th shot. All are young doctors. You can see from their pictures. All three at Trillium Health in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada”
In the 80s, once or twice a year you would hear of a 90 year old who had a heart attack while taking a cold shower after working in the garden all day. In 2022 it’s so common you have to provide a PSA? Wonder what what new elixir is pulsating through everyone’s veins?
Note, as well, that the word "healthy" apparently means "people with heart disease" in the article. That one's new to me.
Here is the shower habit -
“According to certain experts, exposure to sudden gushes of water could be dangerous for individuals with heart disease.”
They must be dropping like flies in Sweden and all the other places where they run out of the sauna and jump into the snow.
Explains why French have fewer heart attacks.
The American Heart Association cites research showing that “plunging into cold water during hot weather can cause heart attacks even in young, fit and healthy individuals”.
So...No more jumping in a pool on a hot day. This getting ridiculous
I have to click on a UK newsrag to find out what this bad habit is?

Terrible writing of burying the lede. Get with it for God’s sake.
This is just story one of getting the public out of the habit of daily showering.
Y’know...
For the planet...
A hand-held shower head is great...lets you get in the shower, get the water temp adjusted before you douse yourself with the water.
I’m over 90 and I was swimming in my southern Ohio pond late into October last year as usual. It was cold but I didn’t have any heart attacks.
